20.01.2022 Home modifications is a service under the NDIS that not many people are aware of, so it is our job to inform you of the many opportunities that allow you and your business to grow. Did you know that there are three types of home modifications you can provide to participants homes? 1. The first is a simple modification, which is generally low cost and easily accessible to participants. This may include installing handrails or shower chairs.... 2. The second is the minor non-structural home modifications which do require professional installation by experienced and qualified persons. 3. The third is complex home modifications, which entails structural changes to participants homes to better suit their needs. This specific service is a high risk, meaning a higher level of qualification is needed. For more information regarding this service, please feel free to submit an inquiry to our website or Facebook page, in which our administration team will contact you.
